WASHER SAFETY
Save these instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your washer, adhere to the
following basic precautions.
Read all instructions before using your washer
 Flammable fluids (dry cleaning solvents,
kerosene, gasoline etc.) should not be
used or stored on or near your washer.
Do not add flammable fluids to your wash
water. These substances give off
vapours that can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
 The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
adequate supervisions.
 Young children should be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the
appliance.
 After starting a washing cycle, do not
reach into the spin basket until all motion
has stopped.
 Do not tamper with the controls.
 If the appliance is supplied from an
extension cord set or electrical portable
outlet device, it should be positioned so it
is not subjected to splashing or ingress
moisture.
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or qualified
service agent in order to avoid any
potential hazard.
Please….
 Have only a qualified person install,
repair, or replace parts on the washer.
 Maintain washer properly.
 Protect washer from the weather and
keep it where the temperature will not fall
below freezing.
 Do no install the washer at a place of
extremely high humidity. It could cause
an electrical shock or a short circuit.
 Connect washer to the correct outlet,
electrical supply, water supply, and drain
supply.
 Ground washer properly.
Understanding your responsibilities
 Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acid (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the
same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.
 Do not wash fibreglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following
loads and cause skin irritation.
 Do not use hot water if standard temperature is over 50C (122F). It could cause
deformation of plastic parts.
 Do not spray water on the control panel and back cover of the washer. It could cause fire
or electric shock.
In case of the dual valve model, if you can connect the cold-water inlet only, while the
temperature is selected as hot or warm, there can be water leakage from the
unconnected water valve.

CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSE
• Direct drain hose at the washer drain outlet
until it is completely encased by the outlet.
• Check if the connection is secured.
DOWNWARD DRAIN WASHER (FOR NON
PUMP MODELS)
• The height should not exceed 8cm.
• For an extension hose, please use a pipe of
over 3cm inner diameter and less than 1.5m
in length.
• Do not place the drain hose nozzle in water.
UPWARD DRAIN WASHER
• To prevent water from flowing backwards, the
drain pipe should be 60-90cm above ground.
• Place the end of drain pipe in washing tub and
fasten the pipe so that it might not come loose
under water pressure or with interference by
children at play.
• Use the U-shaped drainage system beneath
washing tub. Drain pipe must be 60-90cm above

OPERATING YOUR WASHER
To obtain the best washing results, you must operate your washer properly.
This section gives you this important information.
Preparing clothes for washing
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits out
to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
• Treat spots and stains.
(see "Removing stains" on page14).
Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be
washed together.
• Separate dark colours from light colours, colourfast items from non-colourfast item.
Loading
• Drop items into washer loosely. Items
should move easily through wash water for
best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
• Load washer properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too small
for the wash load can:
-cause poor cleaning
-increase wrinkling
-create excessive lint
-wear out items faster (because of pilling).
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An
off balance load can make the washer vibrate
during spin.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits. These items should
have more room to move in the water than
heavy items (towels, jeans).

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Used to adjust the amount of water according to the size of the load to be
washed.
Used to select the full automatic course:
Wool Speedy Gentle Standard Heavy
• Used to choose water temperature being supplied.
• As the button is pressed; the water temperature will change between.
COLD – COLD + HOT - HOT
• In the case of a single valve model, there is no wash temperature
selector function.
• Used to pre-engage time for wash.
• If you want to change wash times, rinse times or spin times, you must
press this button after selecting each cycle by the cycle button.
Press the ‘Process’ button to choose a different mode combination.
1. Wash + Rinse + Spin (default option)
2. Soak + Wash + Rinse + Spin
3. Wash
4. Spin
5. Wash + Rinse
6. Rinse + Spin
• When you want to change a course during operation;
press the "START/PAUSE" button - select the course that you want to
change - press the "START/PAUSE" button again.
• Press this switch to turn the power on or off.

PREPARATION OF LAUNDRY AND USE OF DETERGENTS
BEFORE LOADING LAUNDRY INTO THE MACHINE, YOU
HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
• Check whether the items are machine washable.
• Set apart fabrics which is non-colourfast.
• Empty the pocket or of all foreign matters, otherwise the drum
will be damaged in the process of washing.
• Where the fabrics to be washed have long strings or zip
fasteners on them, tie a knot on the strings and close the zips.
• Spread out and shake the fabrics thoroughly before putting
them in.
• Small items and fabrics which are easily damaged or tangled
must be placed in a net for washing.
• Fabrics of long staple fibres which are subject to pilling should
be rolled over before loading them into machine.
• Garments which do not absorb water readily must be
submerged in water by hand.
• Heavily soiled clothes must be ridden of dirt first.
• Items stained with chemicals should be pre soaked, before
loaded into the machine.
• Be sure not to overload the drum, as this will make it difficult
to clean the items.
SOFTENER
• Softener must be poured in slowly at the softener inlet before
washing. It will automatically feed in during operation of
machine.
BLEACH AGENT
• Bleach agent must be diluted first with water and then pour in
slowly at the bleach inlet before washing.
POINTS FOR ATTENTION
• Do not use more than the recommended amount of washing
powder, otherwise the rinsing results will be affected.
• Do not open the machine cover while spinning is in progress.
This might lead to premature adding and invalidation of
softener.
• Do not leave the softener idle for a long time after feeding; as
the softener may prevent smooth flow when it is solidified.
• Clean regularly the detergent dispenser drawer, the softener
inlet and the bleach inlet.

HINTS AND TIPS
Small articles and fabrics which are easily
damaged must be put in a wash bag.
Items which do not absorb water readily must
be submerged in water by hand.
Garments of long staple fibers subject to
pilling must be rolled over before being loaded
into the machine.
Before putting in the fabrics, spread them out
and shake them thoroughly. Where the
garments come with long strings and zip
fasteners, tie a knot in the strings and close
the zips before putting them in.
Remove loose dirt and sand from fabrics
before washing. Fabrics stained with
chemicals must not be loaded directly into the
machine.
Heavily soiled items should be treated with
detergent in advance. This will make it easier
to remove the dirt.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE OF DETERGENT
DISPENSER DRAWER
When the detergent dispenser drawer is
stained with detergent, clean it with a soft
cloth.
• If the sticking is very serious, flush it with
water while cleaning it with a cloth. Then set
the spin program only for about one-minute
spin operation to drain away the residual
water. Finally wipe it clean with a dry cloth
(especially in winter).
CLEANING OF LINT FILTER
• Remove the lint filter by pulling it upward in
the direction of the arrow.
• Turn the lint filter inside out to remove its
contents.
• Replace the lint filter on the drum.
CLEANING OF SOFTENER AND BLEACH
INLETS
Clean regularly the softener and bleach inlets,
normally once when they have been used 10
times.
I, Flush the inlets with water and brush away
any remaining softener residue.
2, Set the only spin program for about one-
minute spin operation to discharge the residual
water. Then clean it with a dry cloth (especially
in winter).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING OF WATER INLET
If water inlet is choked up by dirt, it will affect
water flow.
1. Turn off the water tap and remove the water
inlet hose.
2. Clear the dirt collected in the mesh over
water inlet.
• If it is difficult to clear the dirt, you may
remove the mesh and clean it.
ATTENTION
• After cleaning, the mesh must be restored to
its original condition; otherwise it will cause the
inlet valve to break down.
PROTECTION OF MACHINE BODY
Any dirt on machine body and control panel
should be rubbed off using a soft cloth.
WARNING
When carrying out maintenance, do not
sprinkle water directly on different parts of the
machine body.
• This might lead to short circuit and expose
the user to electric shock.
ATTENTION
• Do not wipe the machine body with gasoline,
banana oil, cleaning agent, strong and weak
alkaline detergents and wax, etc.,
• Do not scrub the machine body with a brush.
• Use of chemical rags must comply with
relevant instructions.

HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTER
Cleaning the Lint Filter
1. Pull the Filter frame
upward. 2. Turn the lint filter inside out, and wash the lint off with
water.
3. Return the filter as it was
and insert the filter frame
into the slot.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
• Clean the filter when water leaks from the water inlet.
1. Pull the power
plug out before
cleaning it.
2. Turn off the water
supply to the washer
and separate the inlet
hose.

REMOVING STAINS
Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results.
Soaking helps remove protein type stains like blood, milk, or grass. Prewashing helps loosen
soil before washing.
Stain removal rules
• Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old set stains may not come out.
• Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, what kind of fabric it is, an dif the
fabric is colour fast. (check the care label)
• Start with cold or warm water, hot can set some stain. When bleach is recommended, use
bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to
the back of the stain. This force the stain of the fabric instead of through it.
